Don't have a cool cousin to tell you where to go on your next vacation? Don't worry _ now you have dozens.
Name: Cool Cousin _ Travel Through People app
What it does: Get travel recommendations and trip advice from "cousins" whose interests are similar to yours. Choose a metro city (12, with seven more coming soon), look for guy or girl "cousins" (or both) and filter for recommendations.
Available: In the App Store, requires iOS 8.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Android version coming soon.
Cost: Free
What's hot: Its mantra _ "a recommendation is only as good as the person behind it" _ is followed through on every page. Once you choose a "cousin" you can read a Q&A about him or her to get to know them better. All map pins have their own category icon so they are easy to distinguish.
What's not: This app is so good I'm surprised it's free. I think the "cousins" and the developers should be paid for their quality and helpfulness. There may be behind-the-scene arrangements, but I didn't see any compensation offers when I clicked on "Become a Cousin."
